you mean you don't negotiate? mark-up on used cars is a lot more than new cars

I bought a leased 07 997TT for almost half price when new, and i hope that you are right about it, but i doubt that Porsche will lower the number of production to hold the resale value. Porsche earns money with the sale of new cars. They may only lower the production due the actual crisis and lower demand for these cars. But, lower demand also leads to lower resale value. To show you how bad the situation is, i know some P-dealers in Europe with new 997's MK1 for sale. How can they sell new MK1's without losing money, with the MK2 out?

On my 07 TT I did a max. 60 month lease at 20K miles per year:
1. to maximize my deduction for the lease payment,
2. permit me to mod the car at my leisure during the long lease, and
3. to force a purchase of the car for the $57K residual ($151K MSRP) which is relatively low and fair.
I also figured that a "well seasoned" PDK version of the 998 TT would be around by 2012/2013, allowing me to dispose of the 07 TT. I'd prefer not to get the first year of the TT PDK version. I'm sure that there will be issues to work out.

I spoke with a friend of mine at a NJ Porsche dealership and already offering low 70's for the 2007 TT. He also told me that the dealership have access to the auction results and they know what is going on. Its so bad at the dealership that I believe they will start selling cars below their cost!!!

Bottom line I think this is great for those shopping and frankly I dont think about depreciation when Im behind the wheel nor am I planning my next purchase any time soon either so its all good. if the economy keep sinking the last thing Im going to worry about is the value of my Turbo.....we all bought the wrong car for retaining value and Im sure 99% of actual owners know that.
